The Advisory Council for Science and Technology Policy (AWT) is currently preparing to provide advice regarding Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in relation to the focus and scale of the Dutch research infrastructure and knowledge valorisation. In the Dutch context, the role of PPPs is growing. PPPs are increasingly being recognized as a solution to achieve a less fragmented and strategically clearer defined research infrastructure, and also to better utilise knowledge generated within the available knowledge infrastructure. However, PPPs are just one way to achieve these policy goals, and there are various other mechanisms and policy interventions that can also be used.
In order to better understand the extent to which PPPs can be used, AWT has asked a consortium of Dialogic and Technopolis to conduct a quick scan in eight selected European countries. The aim of this quick scan is twofold:
- Determine how and to what extent a selection of comparable European countries deal with focus and scale in the valorisation of scientific research.
- Determine to what extent PPPs have contributed to the aforementioned processes.
